Safety Tapes and Labels for Australian Workplace Safety and Identification

Safety tapes and labels are the workplace consumables that mark hazards, define safe work zones, identify equipment, and communicate critical information at a glance. Where signs handle major messaging, tapes and labels handle the everyday marking that keeps workplaces functional and safe. AIMS Industrial supplies safety tapes, labels, and identification products from Brady and trade-grade brands for Australian workplaces.

The safety tape types we stock

• Hazard marking tape — black and yellow chevron pattern for marking edges, hazards, and pedestrian routes
• Aisle marking tape — coloured floor tape for marking pedestrian aisles, equipment zones, and storage areas
• Anti-slip tape — abrasive-coated tape for stair treads, ramps, and slip-prone surfaces
• Barricade tape — non-adhesive plastic tape for temporary cordoning of work areas
• Reflective hazard tape — for low-light hazard marking
• Lane marking tape — heavy-duty floor tape for warehouse and factory traffic management

The label types we stock

• Asset identification labels — for equipment numbering, tracking, and inventory management
• Cable and conduit labels — for identifying electrical and instrumentation runs
• Valve tags and equipment tags — for identifying valves, equipment, and process points
• Lockout/tagout tags — danger and caution tags for equipment isolation
• Inspection labels — for marking next-inspection dates on equipment requiring periodic checks
• Hazardous substance labels — GHS-compliant chemical hazard labels

Where safety tapes and labels earn their place

• Workplace floor marking — marking pedestrian aisles, equipment zones, and forklift traffic paths
• Stair and step safety — anti-slip tape on tread edges and ramps
• Equipment identification — asset numbering for tracking and maintenance
• Cable and pipe labelling — identifying services for maintenance and emergency response
• Hazard marking — temporary marking of trip hazards, wet floors, and edge drops
• Lockout/tagout programs — equipment isolation tags as part of LOTO procedures

Compliance — AS 1319 and broader standards

Safety tapes and labels used for hazard marking should align with AS 1319 colour coding (yellow/black for caution and warning, red for danger and prohibition, blue for mandatory, green for emergency information). Floor marking colour conventions vary by site but typically follow industry conventions: yellow for traffic aisles, red for hazards and fire equipment, white for storage zones. For chemical hazard labels, GHS (Globally Harmonised System) compliance is required — the format is determined by the substance and its classification.
